=What is Craven County?=

[ Overview ]
At this point, you've seen Mr. Smith's video that contains his ideas about what makes Craven County unique. In this assignment, you now have the opportunity to give your input on this topic.

[ Directions ]

 * 1) Brainstorm ideas about what makes Craven County unique. This might be people, places, events (past, present, or future), or anything else you can think of. (As part of your brainstorming, you might think about doing some basic research; keep in mind, though, that whatever you ultimately choose should be your own opinion, not someone else's.)
 * 2) Choose the top three ideas from your brainstorming.
 * 3) For each idea, write a brief paragraph (using TPEEA, of course) about why these people/places/events/whatevers help make Craven County unique. Be as specific and detailed as possible.
 * 4) Revise and edit your writing.
 * 5) If you want to go above and beyond, find/create images to go with each person/place/event/whatever. If you choose to include images not created by you, be sure to properly cite them; see the Purdue OWL's section about citing "Other Common Sources" (scroll down to "A Painting, Sculpture, or Photograph").
 * 6) Your final draft should be created in (or uploaded to) your RWWS folder in Google Drive with the file name //Lastname Firstname - What is Craven County//.

[ Requirements ]

 * Your finished work must be typed and use proper MLA formatting (i.e. 12 point Times New Roman font, full heading, double spacing, 1-inch margins).
 * You must choose three (3) items related to Craven County and explain in detail how/why they contribute to the uniqueness of this area.
 * You //may// (but are not required to) include images to accompany each item you write about.

[ Due Date and Grading ]
Your finished assignment is due on **Monday, September 10**. It is worth 100 points and will be graded primarily on its level of detail. Conventions and mechanics will also be considered.
